great book
I loved this book so much that I recommended it to my friends and family. Not just about golf, its message carries over to life lessons. It made me go ahead and enter a golf scramble with all Single Plane golfers even though I just started learning the mechanics. I’ll leave my ego at home and enjoy the experience.

I listened to the audiobook. It was ok. I have listened to a number of golf books (most of them on my way to the course). This one is pretty basic. Not too many new insights. I think the Jon Sherman books are much better

Mental approach to golf.
This short book provides information for those seriously involved in the game of golf to improve the reader’s mental approach to the game. I recommend it.

I didn't know this was an advertisement for a certain golf teaching school and swing method. Nothing of any interest or value for me.
